Abstract

In remote collaborative work via WAN, sharing and recognizing various high-quality visual contents such as photography, visualization image, and real video streaming is extremely important. Supporting a high-quality display of these contents on a large-scale display system is necessary to support intellectual remote collaborative work. However, these contents are currently magnified in low resolution on a general projector used as large-sized display equipment, and these equipments are difficult to display the contents with sufficient quality. In this paper, we have focused on the tiled display wall technology which configure a wide-area screen with two or more LCD and tried to display realistic high-resolution visual contents to solve these issues. We have constructed a tele-immersive environment with a tiled display wall, and have studied the availability for intuitive remote collaborative work by implementing various collaborative applications for the effective display of high-resolution contents as well as developing interaction techniques for enormous visual contents in this environment. As a result, we have showed that the practical use of a tiled display wall is useful in the construction of intellectual remote collaborative environment.
